15 minutes of your time
can make a difference.
Remarkable things happen when
parents and other adults spend
at least 15 minutes a day listening
and talking with their kids.
Research shows that kids really
do look to parents, teachers, and
other adults for advice and
guidance about difficult choices.
Take 15 minutes and listen to what your kids have to say about
bullying -- or whatever else is on
their mind. It can't hurt, and who
knows? It might help.
The 15+ Make Time to Listen...Take Time to Talk campaign
is based on the premise that parents who talk with their children about what is happening in their lives are better able to guide their children toward more positive, skill-enhancing activities and friendships.
The campaign provides practical guidance for parents and caregivers on how to strengthen their relationship with their children by spending at least 15 minutes of daily, undivided time with them and focusing on them.
